Sorry to see this Andy, that really sucks. Good luck on the resurrection.

Doin' some debt collections work I see.

Very nice review Aerious, I would like to A/B the Capitole and the EAR Acute sometime.

I love Lagrimas Negras, if you like Lagrimas you will love El Arte Sabor and at the Village Vanguard, Luis knows where to get the high quality versions.

Well Naaman's Buffalo had plenty of well controlled bass so I guess it depends on the implementation of the builder.

Excellent! I am happy to see they reopened after that CSI issue they had. Nasty thing those ax murders and all. Probably no truth to those rumors either.

Well I guess it has been enough time for all of the people in Naaman

I can get porno on my Dell?

For some reason, I find that really friggin' funny.....especially with my family in mind.

You didn't??? No you didn't did you? You're kidding right?

"Audiophile" fucktard to you sir.... I take my 'tardnis seriously. Ahhh, all this testosterone flying around has me wanting a pair of HD800s just so I can see what is what.

[quote=recstar24;194077 The bass response will be the biggest question I have. It can be concluded that its faster than the 650 (though not that hard to do). I have never criticized the scope and size of the 650 soundstage, just the cohesiveness, as it does come out somewhat blobby even on heroic amplification IMO. So like you said, I am super curious at the aspect. As for the price point, I think it will represent more a ceiling than a floor. Though there is a demand for a $1000+ hi end headphone in our niche market, I think pushing it beyond $2000 becomes unfeasible to sennheiser as a company and the bottom line (or any other manufacturer). I think $2000 economically speaking is the absolute threshold for a hi end can, where a company can still make some money. Sennheiser has already sold 70 or so to Tyll and Todd, I would imagine Todd will pick up a bit more from his original 10, and who knows what the orders are like for the other dealers. If the price point was north of $2000 I don't see that occurring, but Tyll could elaborate if he wished as he is the business guy not me. You can see what the price point is doing though. The people that actually can afford the can are excited for it to come out and look forward to either purchasing or auditioning. The people that can't afford it, or they are relatively new and unexperienced in HeadFi, are finding multiple ways to bitch about it. There will probably be people who can't afford it, but feel like they need to have it, so they will buy it from Tyll and return it within 30 days because they realize they shouldn't be spending money when they actually don't have it (JK Tyll). That leaves us, IMO, with a hiend can that will eventually belong to the hi-end users.

Yes he did bring one to the So Cal meet though it is hard to tell from the pics on Agon. Then again what is the probability of more than one owner of a $64,000 DAC living in the Denver CO area?

Or wait for hyper deflation a stronger dollar and weaker $DM. Nah, buy them now and post pictures and impressions for all of us to drool over. I am sticking to my fiscal restraint in 2009 New Years resolution so I am on the sidelines for now.

Wow Grahme, other than some Santa Rita Hills wineries on the way down, you hit just about everything worth mentioning.

Happy Birthday Luis! You da man!!!!!

Damn Naaman that is really impressive, both the Tahoe and the speakers. I can't wait to see the final outcome and if you keep them how you finish them.

Does stalking count?

Try trash compactor bags. They are usually 3-4 mil thick, don't hold as much volume wise but then again they don't rip.

Well if your plan was a PPO instead of and HMO, they would have stitched them on and in the right order.....

Oh I don't know about that. I agree with Steve but there are a few others as well.

You work for MI5 on loan from MI6 don't you?

Ahhh, single driver full rangers huh? I saw those two hole on what I thought were the front mdf baffles and guessed otherwise. I would have helped if I read your post a little more carefully too. Now I am really interested in the final outcome. As you know my experience with the Fostex 166 BLH was less than satisfactory until I added the supertweeter and a sub woofer. I have never heard the Nirvanas but they seem interesting. The speakers I guess will go in your listening room then and not your office? They look kind of big for an office, they seem to be 36"X 8".

Nice Naaman. I guess the devil will be in the details such as finish for the speakers and crossover. I will be very interested to hear your impressions especially how these non ported cabinets handle the bass. What internal wiring are you planning on using? Any internal dampening? I hope you have a much better journey than I had when it comes to the finish. Veneer or black piano gloss? I saw a really nice Dean Guitar today dressed up with ebony veneer and a copper mother of pearl trim. Started to get me thinking about a new speaker project. (ahhh, must resist )

I have this as well in three different versions. I dig them all. Digipete likes??? Jessica Williams- Live At Yoshi's
